There's a brand-new 'reverse rawdogging' trend on flights, and it sounds even worse than the original.

Now, unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you'll know all about the 'rawdogging' trend which swept across social media in the summer.

Firstly, get your mind out the gutter - 'rawdogging' as absolutely nowt to do with getting frisky.

In short, 'rawdogging' sees jet-setters attempt to go through an entire flight without any external distractions.

Yep, that means no music, no reading, no streaming, no podcasts, no snacking, and even more bizarrely, no sleep - you name it, you probably can't do it.

Even having a sip of water and having so much of a browse at the in-flight magazine is forbidden for the entire journey.

You pretty much have to just sit straight ahead for the full trip - something I'm sure many of us couldn't handle even for just a two-hour flight, let alone a long haul one.

In fact, not only could people not hack the viral 'rawdogging' trend but they've now come up with a complete antithesis to it known as 'reverse rawdogging' and it's even more bonkers than you'd think it is.

One person who tried out the trend took to TikTok to share their experiences with it with the overlay text on their video reading: "Boutta reverse rawdog this 12 hour flight."

They listed out the things they'd be doing to keep themselves occupied for the duration and, even to most prolific doom-scroller, it's a pretty intense rundown.

The TikToker penned: "Movie in one ear Brainrot TikTok audios in other ear.

"Average pace of 15 reels/min."

The TikToker added that the whole thing would be fuelled with '3 Zero Sugar White Monsters' as well as 'Adderall' - a common medication used by people with ADHD.

One TikTok user declared: "This is the trend that needs to be embraced. Add about 5 airport beers beforehand and it’s golden."

A second hit out: "How are you going to make it with only two screens? Last flight I had my phone, the chair screen, my laptop, my iPad, and my Nintendo switch going and even then I was bored."

"Brainrot final boss," praised a third while a fourth pointed out: "Forgetting the Minecraft parkour and Subway surfers."

Another worried: "Adderall and energy drinks? Do you want to explode?"

And a final TikTok user hailed the set-up sensory-overload situ 'dopamine maxing'.
